EXCERPTS

In 1988, a handful of the scientists who passionately believed in this theory won authorization from the UN to set up the body known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This was the year when the scare over global warming really exploded into the headlines, thanks above all to the carefully staged testimony given to a US Senate Committee by Dr James Hansen, head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), also already an advocate for the theory that (CO2) was causing potentially catastrophic warming.

(snip)

One of the more startling features of the IPCC is just how few scientists have been centrally involved in guiding its findings. They have mainly been British and American, led for a long time by Dr. Houghton (knighted in 1991) as chairman of its scientific working group, who in 1990 founded the Met Office’s Hadley Centre for research into climate change. The centre has continued to play a central role in selecting the IPCC’s contributors to this day, and along with the Climate Research Unit run by Professor Philip Jones at the University of East Anglia, controls HadCrut, one of the four official sources of global temperature data (another of the four, GIStemp, is run by the equally committed Dr. Hansen and his British-born right-hand man, Dr. Gavin Schmidt).

A good old “Up yours” to the Nobel Committee and a return of the Peace Prize is in order.

BBC is picking it up: BBC: Hackers target world's leading climate research unit.

BBC is just reporting they were hacked, not what the data was.

[mewzilla]

The Peace Prize is a joke. This is a crime.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the people who supported leaks from the Bush Administration are going to react to this. Will they support “the public’s right to know”?

Of course not. They'll call it a crime and demand that the hacker(s)(or mole) be brought to justice.

We all know the hypocrite drill by now.

evidently the Hadley files that have been liberated are HUGE and cover many years of climate crime....they are being dissected by many at this moment and if Obama or co-crooks are implicated we will hear about it!

[for-q-clinton]

Here’s my concern.

It’s only blog type news sources that are even saying it was hacked. This Hadley guy appears to talkt to bloggers but not real reporters about the situation.

Then you see things like “If this is fake it’s so elaborate that it’s impossible to conceive someone would do such a thing.” or “I’ve seen the files and they are massive”

We have to be careful not to be like Dan Rather, “Fake, but true”

BBC picked up the story - just not anything about the content of the emails and docs...

[for-q-clinton]

Thanks for that link. That helps a ton.

And the fact that they aren’t covering the conent means it probably is true :-)

Good thing we have all of those journalism students who are going to save the world by shining the light on the corruption.

Well it was a couple of journalism students that shined the light on ACORN. :)

[Tzimisce]

Can’t wait to see what the spin is.

[Brett66]

Phil Jones and Michael Mann were both authors in the IPCC report and they’re admitting to deleting data that didn’t support the AGW scam.

Some of the other emails show that they probably circumvented standard practices in journals so they could show whatever data they wanted to show.

These scientific journals probably knowingly went along with it.

They didn’t just uncover some roaches when they lifted this rock, it was an entire snake pit!
